Day #24 I gave her some water although she wasnāt asking for it and did not absolutely need it . I will try and wait until sheās positively thirsty before I water her again. My tent humidity has been dropping as the pots dry out but when I check the moisture levels it shows ānormalā also as my pots dry out the ph of the āmediumā has risen to 6.8-7.1 . Deeeeeeeep at the bottom of the pot it is 5.5.
Iām curious about the fluctuations of āsoil mediumā .
Thought to check the accuracy of my ph pen today before watering & discovered it is out of calibration 2 weeks after initially setting it up . I think Iāll look for another PH pen that I can rely on however Iām glad I had the foresight to acquire ph solutions to be able check the accuracy of the calibration of my pen.
I donāt want to feel the need to recalibrate before each use nor the desire to check the accuracy each time which is why I sprung for a
more expensive pen this time rather than a ā super value ā ph . Back to the drawing board to find a better product .
I am still happy with the performance , accuracy & reporting of my smart hygrometer. I am very glad I sent back the original one and replaced it with a competitor brand .
Iām wondering should I be getting ready to give her a top dressed feeding in one week . Orrrrr will I wait until she starts showing hunger signs . I premixed more than the recommended amount of plant food when I transplanted her from her starter pot day #9. Iāll think on it a little more.
Day 26 Update: She has EXCELLENT structure without any LST, Topping, or SuperCropping. Ponytailing has definitely brought out great growth. Iām a little sad. I believe that Iāve misused the total flower time of the 3 autos finishing in this tent. They have all been in flower since week 2 & 3 of their life . They are currently in weeks 7 & 8 of their life.
I was thinking an 8 week flower but these look as if they can go 12-15 weeks. Sooo put simply, these autos may remain in my 5x5 the entirety of my 3 month vegging of āCellieā Cereal Milk by RQS.
The best shots will come once the tent gets harvested & she gets scrogged down . Iāve plucked 2 fan leaves finally although I really donāt want to defoliate any yet . Her lateral growth shoots are healthy and tenacious. Iām super happy with the number of arms & equality of height in the arms . I may eventually be interested in topping this naturally bushy plant . I really want a dramatic filling of this tent so Iām encouraging an over abundance of multiple branches. Branches that I will eventually tie down .
Day#28 Update: she finished the week well & is becoming voluptuous . Given her majority indication indica leaning pheno is taking up this Gaia Green like a champ & I was questioning just how tall I think sheāll grow before growing/being trained to grow as wide as the tent . She may be a squat but wide bush š . Itās too soon to tell, the lights are still between 40%-50% & watering is only sparingly as needed the last watering age received was day # 24.
Give us a like. Week 5 has began !
